Hi Elite Trader members! I wanted to introduce my firm to traders who are looking for an agency broker to route their equity orders to the US marketplace for execution. Lime Trading is an executing agency broker to the US Equity markets for both quantitative traders and screen based traders as we offer colocation at all the major data centers, market data. As an agency broker with memberships to equity exchanges, we don’t operate a dark pool, internalize trades or have proprietary trading. You can think of Lime as a technology company that is also a broker dealer with over 20 years of experience helping our customers have a fast, reliable, high throughput DMA gateway to the US equity and options markets. Some advantages of using Lime are the ease of use and flexibility of our technology as we offer many different low latency connectivity choices including FIX, API (written in C++, C#, Java & Python). The latency for the FIX or API risk check is in the single digit microseconds. We also offer a lower latency solution in binary format which is in the low single digit microseconds. Our screen based traders can connect into Lime through the Sterling Pro platform*. In addition to offering low latency DMA, our customers can also utilize customized Algo and Smart Order routers. Lastly, in 2022 our customers executed over 21 billion shares and our technology processed over 11 billion messages (75 million messages in one day alone). Even during peaks of volatility in the markets, our technology proved reliable enough to provide full access to the marketplace for our customers. Please let me know if there are any questions which I can help with as I would be happy to speak with you regarding the solutions Lime offers to both quants and screen based traders. Thanks and looking forward to engaging with the community!

Do you route options orders or is it just for stocks? Good stuff! Would love to hear more about your service.
Welcome, Mike! Good to have you here. Mike and the team are very knowledgeable and passionate about trading, from my experience.
Hi Dawn thanks for your inquiry. We are members to al the major equities exchanges so those orders go direct to the exchanges. We do have a solution for customers who want to trade options, but since we are not options members, we need to route options orders through another BD. Happy to chat about this as well as our other services if you'd like to set up a call. Feel free to send me an email at mbeaver@lime.co and we can coordinate a call. Thanks and looking forward to speaking! Mike
